Estimated POINTS® value per serving | 3.5
Course | Side Dishes
-Package of apples ( any kind you want) at Walmart that are already sliced up.
-Cinnamon
-Brown sugar
-Splenda
-Chopped Pecans
Stir together about 1/4 cup of splenda, 1- 2 tbsp brown sugar, and 1 - 2 tsp cinnamon.
Put apples in a metal baking pan sprayed with cooking spray so they won't stick. Sprinkle apples with splenda mixture and stir apples in the pan to get them good and coated. Bake at 350 degrees to your liking. I cook mine about 15 minutes then take them out and stir them and add the chopped pecans. Put them back in the oven for an additional 10 minutes. They come out absolutely DELICIOUS and can be used as a side dish or desert. Enjoy!
